2. Re: Brake Grabbing (score: 1): Author: Les Myer <lmyer@probe.net>; Date: Sat, 11 Jul 1998 19:50:03 -0400; None of the following is specific to Sprites - just disc brakes in general. I would drive the car for a day to break the new stuff in before worrying about it much. If the rotors are warped, you wil; /html/spridgets/1998-07/msg00400.html (9,879 bytes)
3. Re: Brake Grabbing (score: 1): Author: Philip Hubbard <phubbard@carroll.com>; Date: Sat, 11 Jul 1998 20:35:43 -0400; Thanks for the advice Les. There are two questions I have based on the above. 1) I have only driven probably about 1 mile total since installation. I notice in just a short 2 minute run to the grocer; /html/spridgets/1998-07/msg00401.html (9,784 bytes)
4. Re: Brake Grabbing (score: 1): Author: Les Myer <lmyer@probe.net>; Date: Sat, 11 Jul 1998 21:18:38 -0400; If you can jack up the car and turn the wheel fairly easy, it shouldn't damage the rotors. I would just do some slow speed intermittent stop and go driving. Brake rotors get amazingly hot in normal; /html/spridgets/1998-07/msg00402.html (10,098 bytes)

Re: Brake Grabbing (score: 1): Author: Philip Hubbard <phubbard@carroll.com>; Date: Sat, 11 Jul 1998 23:24:31 -0400; Yes, I have jacked up the car and it turns fairly easily - easily enough to make it kind of difficult align the wheel studs with the holes in the wheel for mounting given my cramped garage space. :); /html/spridgets/1998-07/msg00403.html (10,082 bytes)
6. Re: Brake Grabbing (score: 1): Author: Les Myer <lmyer@probe.net>; Date: Sun, 12 Jul 1998 00:18:16 -0400; In the case of Sprites/Midgets, the caliper has to move back and forth on the mounting bolts themselves. (If this weren't true you would have to have two pistons, one for each brake pad) Les; /html/spridgets/1998-07/msg00405.html (9,310 bytes)
7. Re: Brake Grabbing (score: 1): Author: "Tom Zuchowski" <tzuchow@ibm.net>; Date: Sun, 12 Jul 1998 07:34:50 -0400; That doesn't sound right for the calipers on my car, which I am 90% sure came off a '67. They are bolted pretty solidly to the kingpins. I always assumed that the "wobbling" in and out was taken care; /html/spridgets/1998-07/msg00408.html (9,610 bytes)

9. Re: Brake Grabbing (score: 1): Author: Philip Hubbard <phubbard@carroll.com>; Date: Sun, 12 Jul 1998 10:03:55 -0400; Well, this mystery of caliper movement at least seems to be cleared up. I shan't be looking for that movement as as Tom and Steve have pointed out, I have the two pistons per caliper assembly. Just c; /html/spridgets/1998-07/msg00413.html (9,876 bytes)
10. Re: Brake Grabbing (score: 1): Author: Les Myer <lmyer@probe.net>; Date: Sun, 12 Jul 1998 11:03:14 -0400; Then what I said doesn't apply. Never had a Spridget caliper off yet - assumed only one piston. Sorry. Les; /html/spridgets/1998-07/msg00416.html (8,260 bytes)

All Spridget calipers are the same except for maybe early Girling factory options on Bugeyes which I have never seen. They all have 2 pistons and do NOT move (should not) whe; /html/spridgets/1998-07/msg00432.html (10,991 bytes)
